Really their are still number of bees undiscovered but I'm pretty sure of one thing they like to stick with flowers.</p>portraitposesTue, 10 Jan 2012 08:25:54 -0000Re: Mellow Yellow: Lovely Lindera Benzoin, North American Native Spicebushhttp://thehoneybeeconservancy.org/2010/10/05/mellow-yellow-lovely-lindera-benzoin-north-american-native-spicebush/#comment-406247778<p>Thanks for your detailed account of this interesting plant.</p><p>Please don't be offended as I offer some additional insight into this particular plant.</p><p>Currently I am in the long process of restoring a hardwood forest on a small property in Appalachia. The tract was 'high graded' several times in the last 50 years, i.e. the valuble trees were removed, leaving gaps in the canopy that have allowed spicebush to flourish.</p><p>I've noted that often spicebush will grow at the base of a mature hardwood, and that such trees tend to suffer from premature mortality at a much higher rate than similar trees in the same stand. Whether this is due to secretion of some sort of toxin, or simply competition for water and nutrients I do not know.</p><p>I've taken to pulling out the mature plants by the roots (block and tackle and log chains required), as suckers sprout from any stumps, growing into mature plants within several seasons. Also, the plant thrives in almost full canopy, growing slowly, but eventually completely shading the forest floor, preventing germination of any other species.</p><p>It doesn't take much imagination to think you are watching slow motion inter species warfare.</p><p>One point I would like to make, is that they should not be allowed to propagate naturally from your property to another, as they can have a large negative effect on forest regeneration.</p><p>Still, the plant is highly aromatic, pleasantly so, a fact I've noted many times as I struggle to feed their convoluted stems into a wood chipper. Also, it seems obvious that they are worthy of scientific investigation for medicinal properties, and as you say, they are a significant food source for wildlife..</p><p></p>Mitch FunkMon, 09 Jan 2012 08:28:36 -0000Re: Remembering Dr. Charles Henry Turnerhttp://thehoneybeeconservancy.org/2011/02/03/remembering-dr-charles-henry-turner/#comment-359323192<p>Very Informative article.
